I just have to share this.  On the list of inspiring amazing women - this one takes the cake - the whole cake!

Kris Carr is just launching a new book (published by Skirt! magazine) and a new documentary on TLC (The Learning Channel) called "Crazy, Sexy Cancer". It is absolutely mind boggling how much this woman shines her light! Now, before you say to yourself - did Laura just mention the c-word? and run and hide - hear why I'm sharing this with you..

-First of all, I don't have cancer but I sure do know a lot of wonderful women (and men, and children) who have had first hand experience. It seems to be all around these days and I want to know more about how to support those I love and care about. And it impacts our business - our families, our collegues, ourselves...it all touches our lives and businesses in so many ways.

-Second, this woman's approach is truly innovative and creative - and I love innovative and creative! She is truly a joyful woman entrepreneur harnessing her strengths and passions as a storyteller, performer, photographer, and creative scrapbooker to help educate people around the world. I love that! A receipe for a success in her mission.

-She is also an amazing example of living life to it's fullest - whether you have cancer or not. On her blog she talks about cancer as a metaphor for what is holding you back - perhaps your battle is with a job you hate, or an unhappy marriage, or _________ (fill in the blank). Her blog is really inspiring to read - here's one of my favorite excerpts so far about Soul Shine : Crazy, Sexy, Cancer Blog.

She is one of the most courageous, vulnerable and passionate women you will every meet.

Let yourself be inspired by the message, the energy, the passion and the intention....

I have another crazy, sexy cancer survivor to add to this list...my amazing client Sandra Gahlinger is detailing her battle with breast cancer and her very recent decision to have a double mastectomy (at age 38) on her blog, Tittyology (http://www.tittyology.com).

Her humor, courage, and grace (as well as some some very practical suggestions) make her blog worth checking out.
